I think I need to clarify something. The incident I recounted in my post this morning about Lawry's seasoned salt being a source of hidden gluten happened nearly SIX years ago in the year 2000. And, I will further state that I had been using Lawry's seasoned salt for several months prior to this w/o problems. I remember buying that specific bottle of Lawry's & noticing that it was light pink in color rather than the usual red I was used to. (A friend of mine observed the same thing about the same time.) It was while I was using this particular lighter pink bottle that I became very ill. Someone on THIS list told me at the time (2000) that the makers of Lawry's seasoned salt no longer guaranteed it as GF as previously. When I stopped using it, I got well Nothing else in my diet or habits changed other than eliminating the Lawry's, so I believe that I may have gotten a bottle from a contaminated batch. But I have no proof!
So please remember that this was a long time ago before the newer allergen labeling went into effect! It's entirely possible that the bottles of Lawry's that are on store shelves today are GF. Also, I have heard from others that they use Lawry's w/o difficulties. And further, Suzanne kindly sent me this below. So ... make your decisions about Lawry's based upon the newer information not my six year old story. After all, I could be spreading another celiac ubran myth! HA HA HA! ~Valerie in Tacoma
-------------------
I'm curious what your source of information is (or was) that Lawry's
Seasoned Salt has gluten (even trace amounts)? Did they change the
formulation?
It's a Unilever brand, and I have heard from both Unilever and
Lawry's-brand that they list all sources of gluten on their labels.
I also use Lawry's Seasoned Salt and have never had any problem with
it. And I have pretty high sensitivity.
Now, I have had similar problems to what you describe with a few
spices and even a bag I had once of plain ground coffee -- where it
becomes clear to me that there has been some kind of
cross-contamination. But the only "proof" I would have would be how
they make me sick with gluten-type problems.
If you have information about Lawry's that people are not generally
aware of, I hope you will share it. It's a commonly used product,
that thought by most (including myself) to be GF.
